Influenza virus A/USSR/90/77 variants adapted to mouse blood serum (USSR/90-MS) and lungs (USSR/90-ML) resistant to beta-inhibitors of mouse serum differ by biological properties and hemagglutinin (HA) structure. One of glycosylation site (GS) located at the tip of HA spike near the receptor binding site is lost because of mutations in both variants: GS 158 (Asn158Asp substitution) in USSR/90-MS and GS131 (Asp131Asp substitution) in USSR/90-ML. Probably adaptation to mouse lungs and serum represents adaptation to different types of receptor molecules. From these data we conclude that mouse lungs and/or bronchi and serum contain different beta-like inhibitors. Presumably the inhibitors in the lungs contain some additional factors in comparison with the serum, adaptation to which allows a wider spectrum of virus resistance to homologous and to many other normal animal sera.

A subunit vaccine Ag85A-LpqH focusing on humoral immunity provides substantial protection against tuberculosis in mice.

iScience

January 2025

National Key Laboratory of Veterinary Public Health and Safety, College of Veterinary Medicine, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China.

The importance of humoral immunity in combating TB has gained extensive recognition. In this study, a subunit vaccine named Ag85A-LpqH (AL) was prepared by fusing the antigen Ag85A proved to induce robust T cell immune responses, and LpqH was shown to produce protective antibodies. The prevention and BCG prime-boost mouse models were established to test the vaccine efficacy.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that arises from diverse etiological factors, resulting in structural alterations and functional impairment of the kidneys. We aimed to establish the Anoikis-related gene signature in CKD by bioinformatics analysis.

Methods: We retrieved 3 datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs), followed by Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) of them, which were intersected with Anoikis-related genes (ARGs) to derive Anoikis-related differentially expressed genes (ARDEGs).

Comprehensive Analysis of Metabolic Changes in Mice Exposed to Corilagin Based on GC-MS Analysis.

Drug Des Devel Ther

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University, Jining Medical University, Jining, 272000, People's Republic of China.

Background: Corilagin is widely distributed in various medicinal plants. In recent years, numerous pharmacological activities of Corilagin have been reported, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, hepatoprotective, anti-tumor, and anti-fibrosis effects. However, there is still a need for systematic metabolomics analysis to further elucidate its mechanisms of action.
